We will also be announcing the sales through various other social media outlets (twitter and whatever else the kids are into these days), but if you&rsquo;re on our site, you will know what&rsquo;s going on as well.</p>

So, if the Malibu Barbie Dev Kit is on sale from 1PM until 2PM, and you add the kit to your cart at 1:45 and manage to checkout before 2PM, you will get the sale price. But, if you waited around and checked out at 2:20PM, the price would revert back to it&rsquo;s standard sale price (since all originals are on sale for 20% that day, so you only get the 20% off price, not the flash sale price).</p>
<p>So, people might end up with multiple orders. HOWEVER, since there&rsquo;s 10% off for the entire day, and 20% off all originals for the WHOLE DAY, the idea is that you&rsquo;d add the stuff to your cart that you really want, and wait for the flash sales. And when something comes along that you can&rsquo;t live without (Malibu Barbie Dev Kit for instance), you add it to your cart, along with the other stuff, and check out. So you&rsquo;d get xx% off the flash sale item, 20% off everything else that&rsquo;s an original, and then 10% off your entire cart. And if that is $60 or more, it ships free.</p>
<p>Does that make sense?</p>chartle on One Week From Today - Cyber Mondaychartleurn:uuid:574b12a2-cab7-54b5-0ed4-057731d1daee2013-11-27T11:59:35-07:00<p>But what about my original question?

All the SparkFun Originals will be 20% off, and then the additional 10% off everything else. So, you get 20% off the product, then 10% off that total. So, if the thing you&rsquo;re wanting to buy was $80 originally (and a SparkFun original), it would be on sale for $64. Then you&rsquo;d get an additional 10% off, making it $57.60, which is a 28% discount, not 30%. The same applies for the &lsquo;flash sale&rsquo; discounts. They will be a higher percentage, and then the 10% will apply after the flash sale discount. Does that make sense?</p>ME heat o nator on One Week From Today - Cyber MondayME heat o natorurn:uuid:337cf7a9-a78b-4415-540d-091e0901ac2f2013-11-26T08:36:16-07:00<p>I think it is funny when people that are used to organized code and careful about logic try to join in a &ldquo;frenzied&rdquo; type of event like black Friday. ha ha.

I’d tell you more about those…but that would take some of the fun out of it.</p></blockquote>
<p>How is this going to work cart wise? If you get it in your cart during the special limited time does it stay at that price. The issue I see is that if you have to &ldquo;buy it&rdquo; during that time period are you going to have to check out multiple times and have multiple orders with extra shipping costs.</p>stcarlso on One Week From Today - Cyber Mondaystcarlsourn:uuid:2b89c6b8-91f9-3394-220d-d4a2bf964e902013-11-25T19:40:52-07:00<p>Do the 10% and 20% discounts stack?

This will be a &ldquo;while supplies last&rdquo; kind of thing. We&rsquo;re also putting a cap on how many any one person can order so we don&rsquo;t have Grinches buying up all of a thing. All of this is only for the day we&rsquo;re running the event, though.
